The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018):

texture

    A measure of the variation of the intensity of a
   surface, quantifying properties such as smoothness, coarseness
   and regularity.  It's often used as a region descriptor in
   image analysis and computer vision.

   The three principal approaches used to describe texture are
   statistical, structural and spectral.  Statistical techniques
   characterise texture by the statistical properties of the grey
   levels of the points comprising a surface.  Typically, these
   properties are computed from the grey level histogram or
   grey level cooccurrence matrix of the surface.

   Structural techniques characterise texture as being composed
   of simple primitives called "texels" (texture elements), that
   are regularly arranged on a surface according to some rules.
   These rules are formally defined by grammars of various
   types.

   Spectral techiques are based on properties of the Fourier
   spectrum and describe global periodicity of the grey levels of
   a surface by identifying high energy peaks in the spectrum.
